• “Yukon is a 12-year-old Dogue de Bordeaux/potato mix. He was named after Yukon Cornelius from the Rudolph claymation. He’s goofy and aloof most of the time. He doesn’t love to be approached but if he’s ignored he may come say hi. He’s a master sniffer and is perfectly happy securing the perimeter from squirrels and rabbits. He’s not one for fetch, although in his younger years loved to play his version of fetch: seek and destroy. He’s protective of his mama and will get noisy but has never acted aggressively.“
